Man down This hardened shell is broken My fate is bound to what I’ve done Regrets, I shuffle down the hallway Precious time It’s all gone overboard Here is your calm down pill I’ll never be the same It’ll never be the same With eyes wide open My body’s floating down the river This life – What have I confined you for? It’s all inside – It’s all in silence When the raven gets its way A million thoughts are swept away And then you leave it all You leave it all behind And maybe next time we’ll meet again And maybe I’ll be less of a bitter man When I feel more
